Users can instantly view Things lists, projects, and tags via the `todo` keyword, as shown in the demo image with hierarchical browsing.
Different keyboard shortcuts (e.g., ⌘↩ for completing tasks, ⌥↩ for canceling) are available based on whether you're viewing a list or its contents, enhancing efficiency.
Opens the Things Quick Entry window with ⌥↩, allowing fast task addition without switching apps, aligning with the philosophy of reducing context switching.
Enables emptying the Things trash directly from Alfred using fn↩, a convenient feature not always accessible in the main app.
Only supports basic actions like mark complete/cancel or delete; there's no ability to edit task details, set dates, or manage projects from Alfred.
Requires Alfred with Powerpack (a paid upgrade) and the Things app (also paid), adding cost and lock-in to specific software.
Lacks scripting capabilities or external API access, making it unsuitable for users wanting to integrate with other tools or automate complex workflows.
Tied to macOS and updates from Alfred or Things could break functionality, as noted by the reliance on their specific integrations.
